1. The most important thing in Maldives tourism: island selection.

Maldives has now developed more than 100 islands, an island and a hotel, all in the form of resorts. In addition, each island is usually far away, so it is almost impossible to visit all the islands in Maldives, and the islands are expensive, so it is destined to visit only one or two islands at a time. The choice of island is not absolutely good or bad, only the one that suits you is the best.

2. Why do the costs vary greatly between different islands?

The standards that affect the price are the size of the island, the perfection of facilities, the grade of greening, the quality of sand, the natural space owned by individuals, the floor area ratio and so on.

If there are two islands of the same size, one will cover 150 rooms and the other will cover 50 rooms. In the case of almost the same level of room decoration, 50 rooms are twice as expensive because of the large space occupied by individuals. The quality of sand is also related to the house price, because the local sand in Maldives is thick and looks white, because it is mixed with coral powder, and the fine sand is shipped from Sri Lanka or Saudi Arabia. The ratio of sand to coral powder will affect the softness and foot feel of the beach, and only great resorts will work hard here. Many resorts with insufficient strength have a large proportion of coral powder on the beach, which looks very white, but it hurts to walk. So the price of top resorts is determined by the details.

There are still differences in the degree of playing projects together. For example, every resort has diving clubs, some of which are only used for diving, and some have international certification to obtain diving certificates; Some resorts have their own coral reef cliffs, which are good places for diving, while others need to go out to sea by boat. In addition, some resorts have their own speedboats, and some resorts rent speedboats from speedboat companies; Some holiday houses are simple cement houses, some are masterpieces of masters, and the house design itself is a landscape ... These differences in software and hardware directly affect the gold content of holidays.

3. How to choose an island that suits you?

1) Consider the total price.

When screening resorts, we must consider the total price, not the comparison of individual conditions. First of all, make clear what your budget is, and plan to choose a room of 100-300 dollars or 300-500 dollars per night. With $200 as the first gear, it may be easier to choose in the first gear. Then comprehensively consider multiple conditions. For example, islands in remote atolls need to go by seaplane. Planes are indeed more expensive than speedboats, but distant resorts are often better and cheaper. If the total price is not much more expensive than nearby places, it is better to consider living far away than traveling by seaplane alone. The room quotation of the resort does not include the transportation fee from the airport to the resort. Speedboats generally cost 50- 120 dollars per person, and airplanes cost 280 dollars per person.

According to the current price situation, the budget for traveling to Maldives can be roughly divided into: 20,000-25,000 RMB for two people is a relatively economical budget; The budget of 30,000 RMB can be played better; And by 35 thousand, you can have higher requirements for time and grade; More than 40,000 can consider some top islands.

Holiday purpose

When choosing a holiday resort, you might as well consider what you want, a comfortable rest environment or exciting outdoor sports. People who like to enjoy themselves need comfortable rooms and perfect leisure facilities, so they have higher requirements for rooms, because most of the time they rely on the software and hardware facilities of rooms and resorts, so it is more suitable to choose resorts with a price of more than 300 dollars. People who like water sports and outdoor activities, as long as the room is clean and easy to take a bath, can find it in the resort of 100-300 dollars, mainly choosing diving places.

The most suitable island for diving:

Milu (up to 50 diving spots), Barros, Moon Island, Orhuweili (diving school), Lilibeach, Sun Island (diving school), Retibibeach, Royal Island (diving school), VADHOODiving Paradise and Baisha Resort &; Spa.

3) Personal situation

Fully consider the needs of each entourage. After all, Maldives is a tropical country, and sometimes it is not suitable for outdoor sports. Some sports may only be suitable for boys, but not for girls. Therefore, when choosing a resort, you need to know the rooms and facilities provided. Taking care of girls and choosing an island with good spa service will make the holiday more enjoyable.

The most suitable island for spa treatment:

Banyan Tree Resort Group is a pioneer in Southeast Asia Spa. In addition, the spas in Neverland and Baisha Island are also well received.

4. Food and beverage choices

The price of food and beverage is usually reflected in the house price, so it is necessary to know what is included. BB is just breakfast, HB is breakfast and dinner, and FB is three meals. For those who like to play, it is recommended to choose FB directly. It's all buffet, simple and easy to do. Just wait until the time is over, so as to avoid the trouble of ordering. Delicious people can choose HB or BB to order their own food in the special restaurant of the resort, but the price of "small stove" is more expensive than that of "big pot rice". Generally speaking, resorts with more than $300 will have several specialty restaurants to choose from. If it is a very simple resort, there may be only one big restaurant, so there is no need to arrange this.

5) Type of house

Each resort has a different name, but several types of rooms are common. According to the location, it can be divided into: seaside villa (which can directly see the sea), water villa (which is directly built in the sea, or half built in the sea) and garden villa (a row behind the seaside villa, which can see the garden view but not the sea view, and some have private small gardens). Classification by facilities: standard, luxurious, with foam pool, with private swimming pool, etc. So when choosing a house type, don't look at the name, but look at the specific description.

Standard = standard, advanced = advanced, luxurious = luxurious, lagoon = coral reef, suite = suite, bungalow = wooden house, villa = villa, gazebo = gazebo, jacuzzi = jacuzzi = swimming pool = swimming pool, seashore = beach, escape = Xanadu.

4. Recommend islands according to the tourism budget

According to the market analysis of Maldives tourism, we can divide the price of Maldives into 10000- 15000, 15000-20000 and above 20000.

5. An island suitable for parent-child travel, honeymoon and sports enthusiasts.

1) Family type:

Suitable for family travel, adults, children and the elderly. Everyone has an island. Usually this island is relatively large. There are also many free equipment on the island. Paid activities are rich in content. Some luxurious island children can also be looked after by foreign aunts for free. Such as bandos, ellaidhoo, kuredu, O & Oh, Risra, etc.

2) Honeymoon type:

Suitable for you and me, husband and wife are bored together, live in a beautiful room, like girls playing on the beach, enjoying food, watching the sea and doing Spa. Not diving as the main activity, but customers who participate in it are more suitable for Taj Treasure, W, Four Seasons, Meeru, Veligandu, Baijindao Waterhouse and so on. Where the island is not shallow, the room must be romantic and beautiful, suitable for honeymoon customers.

3. Love to play:

I think going out to travel means playing, feeling the unique local customs, playing with customers and playing together. For example, people who are afraid when the sea is waist deep are still honeymoon tourists. People who like to play usually go to islands with better snorkeling conditions, such as Tuhajili Island, Angaga Island, Filiteyo Island, Kani Island, Comando Island and Cinnamon Island. If we can give up the water house, there will be more and better choices. These islands are very simple rooms, but they will have a good time.

Next, the most concerned issue is how to choose an island with fish. Boys are particularly concerned about this problem. Deep diving is indeed that there are many fish on every island, but it is impossible to go deep diving all day. The key is to have shallow fish, and the fish is much bigger. It better feel like diving in a fish tank. Ok, the key to fish is coral reef, which is the home of fish, so the denser and thicker the coral reefs around the island, the more fish there are. There are high tides and low tides in seawater, and the drop will be half a meter to 1 meter. The shallows on the island will lead to the death of coral reefs exposed to the air at low tide. Therefore, a good island must have a large shoal drop, with a water depth of half a meter and a water depth of 3 meters. So whether an island has fish can be understood from the bird's eye view.

For example, the whole island of angsana lhuru is surrounded by coral reefs, and there is a shoal with steep slope, so even at low tide, there will be some underwater parts, which is a good product.

One & Although only Kanuhura Island is a noble island, its problem is that the shallows are so shallow that you can see the waves rushing up and being stopped. You can't swim outside the waves, it's too dangerous. In the waves, there are all dead broken corals, because they are exposed to the air at low tide and die. Therefore, the fish on the island is estimated to be only as long as the palm of your hand. Even if sharks come to feed at high tide, there won't be many for fear of being stranded. Some people say that I swam to the edge and snorkelled a little coral. No way, that's too far. I just swam to my leg, and I was very weak. Where can I catch fish?

It's disappointing to see Anna Tana praised by many people. There are no sparkling coral reefs. There may be some fish facing the waves on Naradu Island. After 8, there are quite few fish. Just because there are few fish doesn't mean there are no fish. After all, the Maldives is a diving paradise, and even an island full of talents will have fish, which is a matter of size. Anatara fish has big fingers, while Kanuhura's palm mentioned above is big, while angsana's arm is big.

Some people think I can't swim, and I'm not interested in snorkeling. Have a rest and look at the blue water. I tell you, if you come back and read the rich fish stickers in other people's travel notes, you will regret it.
